The physicist who gave quantum measurement its most famous slogan: "it from bit", the idea that every it, every particle and field, derives from information. His participatory universe is the scientific ancestor of the claim this app makes.
A physicist who argues consciousness is fundamental and physical reality is something like a computed simulation, rendered on demand from an underlying information system. His model is the philosophical backbone of this app.
The statistician who wrote the definitive skeptical book on why improbable events are commonplace.
The great essayist behind The Roots of Coincidence, who coined one of the topic's most quoted lines.
A magician-turned-statistician whose work, with Frederick Mosteller, gave the study of coincidence its mathematical rigor.
A biologist whose ideas about morphic fields and an extended mind give synchronicity a speculative scientific frame.
A psychiatrist who brought synchronicity to a wide popular audience, treating meaningful coincidence as a doorway to the inner life.
The academic who has done more than anyone to make synchronicity a serious object of scholarship, leading the Essex research group.
The scholar who knew Jung's thinking best, and who wrote the clearest account of synchronicity as Jung actually held it.
A Nobel physicist who took synchronicity seriously enough to co-author a book with Jung and to keep arguing about it until his death.
The psychiatrist who named synchronicity in 1952 and spent his last decades exploring the boundary between psyche and matter.
The most cited researcher in psi and consciousness studies, whose work sits right at the edge of mainstream science.
A psychiatrist who has spent years collecting coincidence stories and pushing the topic toward something you can study.
